Following his Jim- Crow- style efforts to suppress the votes of Democratic- leaning constituencies, the ethically compromised Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brian "No Show" Kemp is making desperate claims about unspecified "cyber crimes" by Democrats:
The office of Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the state's Republican gubernatorial nominee, said Sunday it has opened an investigation into the state's Democratic Party for possible unspecified cybercrimes after an attempted hack of the state's voter registration system.
"While we cannot comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, I can confirm that the Democratic Party of Georgia is under investigation for possible cyber crimes," Candice Broce, press secretary for Kemp's office, said in a statement.
"We can also confirm that no personal data was breached and our system remains secure," she added.
The announcement comes two days before Election Day, when Kemp faces Democrat Stacey Abrams in the governor's race. Kemp has rebuffed calls to resign his position as secretary of State while he campaigns, with critics citing conflicts of interest.
Democratic Party of Georgia Executive Director Rebecca DeHart in a statement described the investigation as “yet another example of abuse of power by an unethical Secretary of State.”This cracker clown is running the election in which he's a candidate for the highest office in the state of Georgia. That seems right.
If you've been following this race, you know the momentum is moving toward Democratic nominee Stacy Abrams; it's also a race that is statistically tied (though we suspect there are a lot of first time Democratic voters who aren't being captured by the polling). If neither Kemp nor Abrams wins 50% of the vote on Tuesday, they will have a runoff election on December 4.
There are a number of likely, non-exclusive motives for Kemp to be introducing this red herring, including sheer desperation to counter the surge by Democrats in the past week or so (thank you, Oprah Winfrey!). Another likelihood is Kemp, who as Secretary of State would have to certify the results of the election, is beginning to establish a pretext for asserting "voter fraud" or vote- rigging should he lose the election (or a runoff). Desperate to hold onto power in a state that is inexorably changing demographically, Kemp and his fellow slimeball Republicans will resort to any means necessary, whether it's leveling ludicrous, last minute charges against Democrats, suppressing their right to vote or denying them legitimacy should they win.
Georgians, you know what to do with this banana Republican!
